The
renowned
director,
Paul
WS
Anderson,
who
has
helmed
movies
like
Mortal
Kombat
and
Resident
Evil,
is
all
gearing
up
for
his
upcoming
next,
titled
Monster
Hunter.
Popular
video
game
company,
Capcom
has
shown
interest
to
turn
this
popular
game
into
a
full-length
feature
film.
Capcom
in
collaboration
with
Anderson,
have
secured
the
movie
rights
and
will
soon
start
working
on
the
project.
"An
ordinary
man
in
a
dead
end
job
discovers
that
he
is
actually
the
descendant
of
an
ancient
hero.
He
must
travel
to
a
mystical
world
to
train
to
become
a
Monster
Hunter,
before
the
mythical
creatures
from
that
world
destroy
ours." Anderson
said
about
the
project.
He
continued,
"It's
on
the
level
of
like
a
Star
Wars
movie,
in
terms
of
world
creation.
There
are
no
real
central
characters
so
it's
a
bit
like
when
we
first
approached
Resident
Evil
and
imposed
our
own
characters
and
story
on
that
world."
"I
think
this
is
a
perfect
IP
for
us
to
do
exactly
that
same
thing
again.
The
Monster
Hunter
world
includes
these
huge
deserts
that
make
the
Gobi
Desert
look
like
a
sandbox,
and
they
have
ships
that
sail
through
the
sand." Anderson
added.
"These
full-on
galleons,
but
rather
than
sailing
on
the
ocean
waves,
they
sail
through
waves
of
sand."Concluded
the
director.
